We spent 4 days at Schoone Oordt during May and thouroughly enjoyed it. The rooms are beautifully furnished and the beds incredibly comfortable, which for someone with a back problem is a real bonus. Lovely linen and goose down duvets. Sonette and her husband, who doubles as the chef, are very welcoming and attentive hosts. We had a fabulous dinner... More

The staff were incredibly friendly and and the food was amazing. My wife really enjoyed the large bathtub in the bathroom. The wood fireplace provided in the room... More

My family and I stopped in at Schoone Oordt for a night on a drive from Cape Town to Plett and the whole experience was wonderful - delicious food in a warmly welcoming atmosphere with really friendly and attentive hosts. I was so thrilled to hear they cooked everything themselves, including the bread, and sourced their ingredients locally - and... More

What a wonderful place to stay. Everything about it is first class, including the wonderful friendly hostess- owner. Our rooms were large, beautifully decorated, equiped with everything we needed. We were able to sit around the pool nestled in the large yard and quietly read our books, before heading out to dinner. The morning brought more raves as we were... More

We only stayed one night at Schoone Oordt, which was definitely not enough. We felt home the moment we arrived thanks to a great and warm welcome from the owners. Alison and her husband are fully dedicated hosts and they did everything for us (lighting the fire in the fireplace of the room, ordering pizza for us, giving advice on... More

We spent 2 nights here in early April. Everything was perfect from the complimentary cheese platter and drinks on arrival to mouth watering breakfasts. Our room was large airy and beautifully appointed with great attention to the smaller details. The gardens are so well maintained I felt like we were in a botanical garden, with an abundance of bird life.... More
